Spaghetti Carbonara (British style) | Cheap vs Steep
Does the cost and quality of ingredients make a massive difference to the final recipe? It's cheap vs steep time again, the playlist where we take the same recipe and make it with the most budget supermarket ingredients we can find against an expensive rival. Our aim is to always make the cheap come out on top (although budget pending always go for best quality). On this episode we are attempting a British style spaghetti carbonara, featuring some extremely expensive olive oil! This is a recipe from a well known UK cook called Delia Smith we have used for Years, things like the cream, onion and bacon are optional in her recipe, in fact, traditionally some would say the cheese should be pecorino and use guanciale or pancetta for the optional meat, but this is one we've always used and were limited by the cheap so was best for our comparison. So we are just calling this a UK style carbonara. We always find these recipes fascinating and hope you do too, keep the suggestions coming in and check out the playlist for the other cheap vs steep recipes to date including chocolate brownies and a cooked breakfast!
